there it lies on the Bunny trail
a chalked outline of the victim
Easter Bunny dead plans derail
who did this is it Tiny Tim?

SCHOOL
the desks
a chalked board
sitting with a friend
pretending to listen
to lull teacher's attention
"A place where minds and numbness meet"
SCHOOL
the desks,
chalked blackboard
Beside a friend
Pretend to listen
Lulling teacher's sharp gaze
As we whisper together
"A place where minds and boredom meet"
We had a fight
We're on a break
Our words are tight
No words of late
We used to talk
We're on a break
Our words were chalked
Each day, on slate
We used to laugh
We're on a break
Our words are rough
No words of late
Unsuspecting. Wet behind the ears.
Her guards down. She dove right in.
She got hurt and cried.
Lesson learned the hard way.
She chalked up the injury to experience.
Could have been much worse.

CHILDHOOD GAMES
bouncing a ball against a wall
conkers bashed as Autumn falls
the swish of a skipping rope
hop skotch chalked in the dry
nearby swings swung high
five-stones on a roll
tin-can tommy in fading light
pooh stick streams
homespun childhood - a delight
Miss
Arrives
To find that
Her wooden desk
Is covered with apples, flowers and gifts
Birthday greetings were chalked on the blackboard
Miss Jones' students
Adore her
And she
them

The deal was made and they tried to welch.
We would have none of that stupidity.
Computer glitch said salesman named Felch.
We chalked that up to incredibility.
Accepted your offer my husband pointed out.
Signed your online agreement yesterday.
Sales manager began to scream and shout.
Hours later we drove our new car away.
Dusty Staccato clouds chalked against a blackboard sky
interrupt the glow of a sunny white moon
as the silence of darkness clings to the crickets anthem -
ignoring the chorus of life that holds the stillness hostage.
And the panting shadow
beneath the lonely lamppost light
tugs always,
gently at my grip,
Ever eager,
to lead me anywhere -
but home.
Form:
Eternity as his message lingers on
A message for the ages now and gone
The words scrawled out on the pavement
To be wondered or savoured as heaven sent
Does it teach us the pace of the world
And what we think or as our faith now held
And Arthur Stace provided Eternity for us
As he chalked out the word on Sydney’s pavements for him enough.

charismatically gifted
in conceptual leaps
expressions
opening
a doorway
to destiny
moments in time
stumato,
from a butterfly mind
scattered
with unfinished masterpieces
of imagination
drawings chalked& charcoaled
with tonal modulation
the inner person
portrayed
face on
in ambivalence
profiles turned to the light
display emotional depth
through the genius
of genuflection
with touch & sensibility
Town children gather
around in a neighborhood
wide cobblestone street
to take part in a lively
select game of tattered ball.
Children stand and watch;
the pitcher keeps a firm hold,
throwing the tattered
ball, placing it hard right down
the middle of the chalked square.
With broom handle in
both hands, batter swings, striking
the small tattered ball.
With excitement the kids jump,
clapping and cheering, "Run! Run!"

Children Story
there are butterflies under the sea
and fish in the air today
willows wept over the moon
and stars giving
distance away
nothing is
as it seems
come here
let’s discuss
it in bed
where words
lose their shapes
with their spurs
and fingers with lips
run in herds
let us interpret a rose
in the way that an ear
wraps around
and tasting each other
suppose
we speak
from the tongues
of no talk
and stretch out
our skin beyond
these outlines of bodies
we’ve chalked
Today I went to live
In a poem chalked of chimes
To taste some reveries in situ
I sought to find in hidden rhyme.
A heart throbbing
With anguished strain
Fire lit by some heated
Embers in the sooty brain.
Piercing with the mind
To observe and let pose
A spider gliding
Gossamer web of its dreams
Framed in a pivoted repose.
A house for habitation
Woven out of itself
Stretched in a triangle
Contemplating for
Other dimension
Beyond rational aims
Of living and dying.
